I have searched the Droid forums (about 8 of them) and a general Google search with lots of different keywords.
And found nothing to help. I am running Gingerbread (DasBamf 2.0-5, preview 2 at the moment) and am trying to use the Sense launcher. But I want to reprogram the third icon to a useful app.
I keep reading about Rosie Settings - is that it? Again, no links only discussions. I know there are apps our there but all I can find is a reference to them - no actual link to a program. I do not want a new sense, I want to remap the third icon.
Does anyone have a link to such a program that they are willing to share?
Thanks for your help!
Please.....
I know somebody holds the key to the kingdom and can unlock this icon.

Hey guys, I apologize if this is the wrong forum to place this, but I couldn't find one that seemed more appropriate.
I'm using the MIUI ROM on my Defy and don't like some of the icons it selects for my applications. Core apps I know where the APK is located so changing them isn't an issue. My question is with ones I install that aren't core apps. I found the data file, but it doesn't seem "hackable" and haven't found any way around this. Am I just stuck with whatever icon the ROM thinks is best, or can I change them somehow? Thanks!
Maybe try a different icon changer? Like using launcher pro to change them instead?

Having never used MIUI ROMs myself I am not sure if this applies but on a Collective/CM/AOSP roms and using one of the alternative launchers (e.g., Nova Launcher, APEX, etc.) you can simply long-press the icon you wish yo edit, click EDIT, then click on the icon symbol and this gives you a list of actions and allows to pick from gallery, files, icon packs, etc. Again, I'm not sure if that applies but thought it may be worth trying and doesn't require fiddling with files at all. Cheers and good luck.
I've recently gotten into creating my own theme\skin and I've been having some luck making some mods thus far. The only issue i'm running into right now is finding the .pngs (.9.png) for the launcher buttons (apps, phone, personalize, background). Which apk are the files located in? Also, what are the image names I should focus on?
I appreciate all the responses and TIA!
Go into,Google and search for 'm10 editor xda forums' you will have all the info you want. Don't be afraid to go into other forums for idea...such as the sensation.
I'm working on creating my own Launcher Icons. How can I place them in an installable pack? As they are now, I have to save the images and then custom replace each one. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth when I feel like changing my theme.
I've been searching the forums and google for some help with this, but I can't seem to find anything that truly answers my question.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
On the plus side, the icons are coming out very nicely!

Check this out, not sure if this is what you're looking for though.

Thanks! It's a start! I use ADW so maybe there's a similar process.
i can suggest you a method to make a swappable theme.
Take an unused adwtheme.apk and edit it, changing the /res/drawable-hdpi .png icons you 'd like to use
Re-zip it and resign it (or simply drag an drop in the original apk i guess)
It worked for me. I can apply the icons using the adw option in themes, selecting iconpack only. And simply swap icons by applying another theme iconpack the same way
Hope it can help.

Hi All,
First off, I LOVE themer! I've been using Apex Launcher for some time on my HTC OneX (rooted, ARHD 31.3 ROM) and I've often gazed with longing at the home screens that some people have designed using UCCW, knowing that I'll necer have the time (or the artistic flair) to design my own. Now I can!
But there seems to be SO many customization options on Themer, and I'm a little overwhelmed. For instance, I'm using a theme with an RSS feed as a central tile, but I'd love to be able to change that to a 'favourite apps' tile. I'm sure the option is there, but I can't work it out. So, has anyone developed/is working on/knows of a Themer user guide?
I work on a cruise ship and internet access is slow and expensive (£10 for 167 minutes!) so I really don't have time to surf around looking for answers to design questions.
SO, does such a guide exist? If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, is anyone up to the challenge?:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
The video is kind of like a user guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474039

Thanks miles_muso for your kind words! Yes the video vhngu930 provided is a good one, but for your problem I can help here. See the thing is that you'd first have to delete that RSS icon and then hold down on the homescreen > Themer Actions > Favorite Apps. Now you'll have a massive heart (we're working on adding icon packs soon), which you'll be able to edit. If you hold down on the icon > edit > tap the icon, you'll be able to replace it with an icon image. You can maybe try here for icon images which may help, they by Jeppe Foldager and the small whites and darks should help for now: https://www.copy.com/s/DxsaXLatvBGf/Share/Icons
Hope this helps!
Hi all,
So I'm using the theme simple glass.and I want to make a few changes to the original icon set on the home screen. Since these are shortcuts, they point to an icon image but I am having a terrible time finding where they are stored. So if you can help with that that would be great. The follow up question would be: do most designers include a broader icon set or just the ones they used? Which would then lead me to ask where to find the rest.
I know these are basic questions but I am just starting down this particular road and need to get some beginner crap out of the way. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your enthusiasm, and glad to have you on board. Themer's icons aren't really stored, they are built into the app. Frustrating but this is to prevent users stealing the icons that are from other designers.
For the icons, unfortunately the designer who created the icons has now removed them. After much searching, the only result we could find was this one here. The only problem is that it's a paid icon pack, and we can't guarantee that the pack will look the same.
Sorry about that!
- Marco
Thanks Marco. I think I have it figured out. I am hunting through some icon sets for Everything Widget. Just need to find one I like. Great app!
